Ordering the Hormone Trio Blood | ZRT Labs
Ordering the Hormone Trio Blood | ZRT Labs helps you check three key hormones—estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone—using a simple blood sample you collect at home. These hormones play a direct role in energy, mood, sleep, and body changes, and imbalances can lead to symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and changes in weight. Interestingly, hormone levels can shift throughout the day, so a single test can reveal patterns that might not be obvious with just symptoms alone.
When ordering this test, you can expect these specific benefits:
- Pinpoints if hormone levels are linked to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, or low energy.
- Helps track changes during menopause, perimenopause, or andropause.
- Supports fertility planning by showing if hormone levels are in the right range for conception.
- Assists in finding the cause of hair loss, acne, or weight gain that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
- Offers a clear starting point for discussing treatment options with your doctor or healthcare provider.
Who Should Consider Hormone Balance Testing
People who have been feeling tired, irritable, or have noticed changes in their skin, sleep, or weight may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has tried different diets and exercise routines but still struggles with stubborn weight gain and mood changes may find answers by checking their hormone levels.
Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:
- Experiencing irregular periods or severe PMS symptoms.
- Having trouble sleeping or waking up feeling unrested.
- Noticing a drop in sex drive or changes in sexual function.
- Dealing with ongoing hair thinning or sudden hair loss.
- Finding that stress or anxiety seems to get worse at certain times of the month, which can be linked to hormone shifts.
Testing for these hormones can help you and your doctor find the cause of symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, or trouble sleeping, and guide the next steps for treatment. Delaying this test could mean missing the chance to address hormone imbalances early, which may make symptoms harder to manage over time.
Preparing for Your Hormone Panel Blood Collection
Fasting is not required for this test, so you can eat and drink as usual before collecting your blood sample. Make sure to carefully follow any instructions your doctor or healthcare provider gives you to ensure your sample is collected correctly and processed without delay.
